A testing device called a 'growler' is being used to locate a shorted coil in the stator of an AC electrical machine. When the 'feeler' is moved over a slot containing the shorted coil, what would be the result?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Growler function in testing AC motor armatures and stators • How a magnetic field affects a steel feeler (such as a hacksaw blade) placed over a shorted coil • What physical signs (sound, motion) indicate a shorted turn during an electrical test

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to magnetic flux when the feeler is placed over a slot that contains a shorted coil versus a good coil. • Consider whether the growler test uses a meter reading or physical/magnetic effects to indicate a fault. • Ask yourself: when magnetic attraction or vibration increases, what would you hear or feel in the test setup?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a traditional growler test normally involves a mechanical feeler or a meter as the primary indicator. • Check which options mention a change in sound/vibration versus meter deflection. • Confirm in your notes how a shorted coil affects the magnetic pull and vibration of a steel feeler when using a growler.
